Supreme Court of North Carolina

State v. Dover

June 17, 2022

Summary

The court held that the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the State, was sufficient for a reasonable jury to infer that defendant robbed and murdered the victim. Defendant's possession of the concealed cash, financial circumstances, presence near the victim's residence, inconsistent statements, deleted phone records, and conduct indicating concealment collectively supported denying the motion to dismiss. The court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for consideration of defendant's unresolved mistrial argument.
